So, from a relatively meta/competitive standpoint, what are some of the best ARMS to use with Dr. Coyle? I recently started maining her and right now, the only type of ARMS that I feel truly in my element using with her are the Retorchers, so I'm asking the rest of you for some good suggestions for the other 2 slots, which are currently occupied by the Roaster and Biffler. (I have a hyper-aggressive playstyle btw, just for guidance—looking for ARMS befitting said playstyle, as well as the character Dr. Coyle herself.)

Rebought the game days ago and have been having a fun but sometimes when I leave a party match lobby I end up queueing into an empty one that no one ever joins.

Also is the online region locked? I'm from US East Coast and I don't know how active it is around here

Have you been interested in getting into competitive ARMS but don’t know where to start, how to find tournaments, or where the community is?

No matter what region you’re from, I’d be happy to help walk you through everything and get you started. When I first started playing ARMS, I had no idea how to get involved with the competitive scene, so I think it would be great to help others avoid that same confusion.

If you’re interested, reply to this post with your Discord username and I’ll reach out to you. I’d love to help more people get involved in the ARMS competitive community!
Thanks!

Played this back at launch but had to sell my copy due to financial reasons and never managed to buy it back.

Right now I’m trying to go for the Arm Getter dev score. I had already gathered a ton of badges beforehand and was sitting on 6000 coins and thought 30 attempts would be enough, but that turned out to not be the case and my record is 29890, so I think I can do it if I practice a bit more. The problem is that since I burned through my money supply, now I have to grind coins for a while in order to get another attempt, and until then I can’t just practice on the Arm Getter itself. What else can I use to practice?

I remember playing this game once in 2018 and it was very fun, does it still hold up?

The explanation for her inclusion could be the devs doing Yabuki a personal favor since MK8 Deluxe performed so well.

I know its crazy and maybe a certain yellow mech girl would have made the answer but let me explain myself first.

The Hedlok used in the Scramble Mode (as well as the Dr Coyle Boss figth) is an upgraded version of the first Hedlok, since the prototype takes control of the target, while the final version can be used and controlled.

This made me wonder, what would happen if that prototype took control of someone who didn't have ARMS?

As a character concept could also be awesome that some guy inside the ARMS labs that's fed up with Coyle's plans decides to take the prototype and actually mod It to participate. Either that or this Hedlok just gets conscience, takes control of some random dude and uses it to figth the rest of the ARMS league on his own

This might be a dumb question I know lol. It’s just I’m planning on eventually doing an All Bosses video on ARMS one of these days but apparently there’s a secret Boss Fight against a Level 8 Hedlok that’s Golden. Sadly I’ve only ever scene him fightable in the online servers and what’s even more sad is that online for this game seems to be dead. Is there any other way I can unlock this fight?
